2022 Triumph Tiger Sport 660 | First Ride Review
I was lucky enough to be invited along to the launch of Triumphs new 2022 adventure sports motorcycle, the Tiger Sport 660. This is Triumphs first motorcycle in the middleweight adventure sports category, a category that is already dominated by the likes of Yamaha and Kawasaki. So join me as I ride some of the stunning roads in Portugal for this First Ride Review.
A massive thank you goes to Triumph UK for making this video possible.

Great review and one I've been waiting for as thinking of replacing my 2 bikes with one that will do everything and this is top of my list. Shame about no cruise control and that screen sounds like the standard one I had on my 2015 Versys which was just terrible for wind blast and noise. Can't wait to try one now though. I'm also same height as you and was concerned if it would be too tall for me but it doesn't sound like it. Nice one🙂

Pretty different in terms of performance! The GSX would eat the Triumph. However the Triumph would be lighter, easier around town, more economical and cheaper.

Best video man, I loved watching the ride, listening to that engine 👌 One question, would it wheelie out of a slow corner, say in 2nd gear.. Would it power lift the front wheel 🤔 ? Atm for me it's either this 660.. Or the multistrada v2 Much more money but .. let's see , I can be happy with the 660.. it has to perform though Buying a bike isn't about the money it's about is the bike fun .. !

@Englishbikerdan 2 года назад

Thanks, with TC off I think it probably could, maybe not 2nd but certainly first.

@_Makanko_ 2 года назад

I love that 660 triple engine but was never a fan of the Trident looks. These looks are nice, I really like that part. As many have said, if you're catering for a (light) sports tourer, CC, a better screen, having a centerstand would have been awesome. If only Triumph would do the the trifecta, also putting that engine in a sportsbike chassis, that would be awesome (like Aprillia have done with their 660). But not like how they built that ST RR. Highly doubt that will happen but one can hope. Cheers!

@markwillerton2021 2 года назад

What is the current obsession with cruise control on bikes???? Never had it, I see no reason to want it or to pay for the extra cost for it, sitting on a straight road with cruise control engaged is not my idea of motorcycling I'm quite happy to leave speed control to my right hand and go enjoy the twisty scenic routes.

@Thirsty_Fox 2 года назад

Not all roads are fun and twisty... lots are straight and flat. It's just nice to be able to rest your wrist for a few minutes at a time, or not have to worry about inadvertently speeding. Triumph already did all the costly work by making it ride by wire -- just toss in a button and some programming and it's a big selling feature for a tourer.

@eagle003 2 года назад

I think buffeting is a real issue on these type of bikes - they want a screen cause it's an "adventure tourer" but can't be too big cause it's not a very big boy. And then your head pays the price (unless you're a small enough rider)

@jaspersilus 2 года назад

So, I'm looking at the 660 Sport and 850 Sport as my first big bike, there's less than a thousand pounds between them, which one to go for?

@Speedytrip 2 года назад

Great review! If you're 5'8" and you get buffeting, at 6'1" that could be painful hehe This really looks like an amazing bike for the price (Don't see why anyone would choose a Versys 650 or tracer 700 over this...). But I keep hoping some day manufacturers stop making "comfort seats" as accessories and just make it the default seat. If someone wants an uncomfortable seat, they could pay extra for that :) The only downside of these Triumphs is the valve check schedule, Yamahas will go twice the distance before valves need to be checked.

Great review, and a lovely bike, but once you start speccing it up it's a very short hop to the Tiger 850. Do you think the 850 is worth the smallish differential, or does the 660 now make the 850 a bit redundant?

@Englishbikerdan 2 года назад

Don't forget you'd also need to spec the 850 up so that gap in price would persist. The 850 is a different bike, big front wheel that can go off road (it comes with road/dirt tyres) and it's a much bigger machine. I see them occupying different spaces in the market so room for both. The 660 was much better doing pure road riding and isn't designed with any off road ability.

@robhall5622 2 года назад

I love this bike and really wanted to buy one but what killed it for me was seat height , I know lower one`s are available so ok that could be sorted but no option of cruise control which in this day and age is a must killed it for me. I think Triumph made a big mistake there. It will sell well but could have sold a lot more if cruise control was offered as an option.

Fair points Eric.

Roads in Portugal are better than in Switzerland it seems.

I'll have to check out some mountain passes next year and find out! 👍

Nice one,Dan 😎 I’m getting the feeling these bikes are being build on a budget but still having a high quality measuring point. Just to attract people to the brand, that’s my guess. I can understand this completely ‘though. Still loving my MY2020 Street Triple RS 🤩

@Englishbikerdan 2 года назад

That sounds about right judging the quality of these new 660's. I'd love a Street Triple myself too! 😍

Would you say this bike is a more comfy and friendly version of the trident ?

@Englishbikerdan 2 года назад

Yes definitely.

Great to see a reviwer actually having fun on a bike! It sounds as though it is a 'proper' triple i.e 120 degree crank rather then a T plane, can anyone confirm that?

@Englishbikerdan 2 года назад

I try to have fun. No point being too serious!

Was the speedo on the motorbike dash in MPH? or KPH?

@Englishbikerdan 22 дня назад

KPH

I know they are not equally the same but how does it compare to your Tiger sport 850?

@Englishbikerdan 2 года назад

The 660 felt much lighter and more agile on the twisty roads, but I think on a long journey I would prefer the more upright nature and better wind protection of my 850.

they offer a couple "comfort" seats, translation they equip with an uncomfortable seat, so you will spend money to get a seat they know is better.

@Englishbikerdan 2 года назад

I've had some comfort seats that were too soft for my liking. I see it as they've provided the seat with a medium amount of softness.

Hey Dan how does it feel going at 80-85 MPH? 😅

@Englishbikerdan 9 месяцев назад

I wouldn't know. Ahem.

So they didn't completely ruin the engine by switching to a flat plane crank on the 660, as they did with the 850, 900 and 1200 series? The 660 sound glassy smooth and refined. Maybe it's just because has a quiet exhaust, but it sure sounds clean and refined. OMG the 660 sounds so awesome... Ughh. I wish they had not ruined that beautiful triple scream by making the larger bikes into "flat plane" crank engines. The bigger engines sound lumpy and coarse in comparison. This video is pure music. That 660 engine is heavenly!

T Plane is a personal preference. I prefer the T crank of my 850 than the 800.
